Is The Essence Vault Spice Bomb - 211 a dupe of Viktor&Rolf Spicebomb?
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A warm, spicy explosion that's a crowd-pleaser for a reason. While its many flankers might vex some, the original Spicebomb is a reliably potent, compliment-getting winter warmer that'll stand strong in any smoky bar.
No. 211 chases Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb's explosive chili-and-leather signature but the blast is flatter and more one-note, missing the original's tobacco depth and running noticeably shorter on the skin.
